Professional Studies

The programme offers a coherent, flexible programme of study directly relevant to the work environment of practitioners working in health and social care; students can build a programme that is relevant to their own needs and those of their employers; the programme allows for greater flexibility of modules so that students may choose modules from education, practice, management or research; it also allows for a choice of dissertation between a traditional research dissertation and a work-based project.

Entry requirements

The programme is primarily designed for practitioners who are working in health and social care; all prospective candidates must formally apply for a place on the programme; an application form and academic interview underpin the recruitment process; applicants will normally hold a 1st degree in a health or social care related subject; the classification of the first degree will normally be a 2.1 or above; applicants without a 1st degree will normally be required to demonstrate extensive experience in a closely related area of health and social care; together with evidence of recent study or writing at an appropriate level.
